If you're a parent like me then you most have probably argue with your children about how much they spend in watching tv. It is so difficult to limit this activity for them especially if you have a cable connection that offers so many channels they can choose from.

"The issue of kids' exposure to TV doesn't throw off as many sparks as it used to. There is general agreement that a child's exposure to television of any type should be limited. There is also general agreement that we are completely ignoring this advice."

"What effect might this have on our children's brains? It's not good news. For decades we have known of the connection between hostile peer interactions and the amount of kids' exposure to television. The linkage used to be controversial (maybe aggressive people watch more TV than others), but we now see that it's an issue of our deferred-imitation abilities, coupled with a loss of impulse control."

Upon reading this post, we must be stern in imposing how much time our children should spend in watching their favorite cartoons or shows on tv to avoid its negative effects.
